>The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce that it will be

>metadata data dictionary. This event will be held at the Wolfson Medical
>Building at the University of Glasgow on 17th and 18th of July, 2006.

>Metadata can play a vital role in enabling the effective management,
>discovery, and re-usability of digital information. Preservation
>metadata provides provenance information, documents preservation
>activity, identifies technical features, and aids in verifying the
>authenticity of a digital object. The PREMIS Working Group released its
>Data Dictionary for Preservation metadata in June 2005
>(http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/pmwg/premis-final.pdf). This is a
>core set of metadata elements recommended for use in all preservation
>repositories regardless of the type of materials archived and the
>preservation strategies employed.
>
>Benefits of Attendance:
>This tutorial will be of benefit to individuals and institutions that
>are interested in implementing PREMIS metadata for the long-term
>curation and preservation of their digital information.
>

>This tutorial will be held from 09:00 to 17:00 on Monday July 17th and from
>09:00 - 13:30 on Tuesday July 18th, 2006.

>The tutorial will cover both the PREMIS Data Dictionary and practical
>implementation issues. It will provide a walk-through of the data
